Strap for Cellini Date Everose / Silver / Alligator

The Rolex Cellini 50515-0009 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This measurement is model-specific and essential for selecting a compatible strap. The correct measurement is taken internally between the two metal pins projecting from the case.

For the Cellini 50515-0009, straps crafted from black or dark brown alligator represent the ideal choice, offering understated elegance and aesthetic compatibility with the rose gold case. Shell Cordovan with vegetable tanning is also a compelling option, as is soft calf leather with minimalist finishing. The choice depends on usage context and personal preferences regarding patina development over time.

Strap replacement involves removing the two pins (or bars) that connect the strap to the case lugs. It is advisable to entrust this task to a professional watchmaker to prevent damage to the case. Casati Milano can provide guidance on correct installation of the new 20mm strap.
